Honoring Liza’s Memory – 8.2 Mile Sunrise Run/Walk
In the early hours of that morning, Liza was doing something she loved, running.
This run/walk is our way to honor her life, retrace the path she took, and stand together in the belief that all women should be able to run safely at any time of day.
The route is 8.2 miles, following the course Liza ran. It begins at Immaculate Conception Cathedral (Central & Belvedere), goes down to the University of Memphis at Central & Zach Curlin Street, and returns to the Cathedral.
Because we want everyone to be safely finished by sunrise, we will start promptly at 4:20am. Please arrive by 4:00am.
This is not a race. It’s not a fundraiser. There is no money being collected, and no one should be soliciting donations. This is about remembrance, solidarity, and community.
Details & Guidelines
Date & Time: Arrive by 4:00am. Start at 4:20am sharp. Walkers must finish by 7:00am.
Hydration: Water stations will be available along the course. No extra volunteers are needed at this time.
Safety & Respect:
-Wear bright colors and a light if possible.
-Keep noise to a minimum out of respect for sleeping neighborhoods.
-No strollers, dogs, or personal bikes (a cyclist escort will accompany the group).
Walkers are welcome — just plan your pace to finish by sunrise.
Media may be present, but we respectfully ask that participants do not speak to the press out of respect for Liza’s family.
Before participating, please read and sign the waiver below.
Let’s honor Liza by showing up for her, for each other, and for the truth that every woman deserves to feel safe whether it’s 4 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon.
REMINDER: A participation waiver may be required and will be sent out to all participants.
